<P>During your career, you'll rescue Sims from overturned boats,
burning buildings and runaway trains. In this exercise, we'll rescue
a few Sims from a fishing trip gone bad.

<P><B>Open the Settings panel as before, by pressing the Escape key
and selecting City Settings.</B>

<P><B>Set the difficulty and number of rescue missions to suit your
level of confidence.</B>

<P><B>Close the panels.</B>

<P>In a few moments, you'll receive a dispatch that Sims are in
trouble and need your help. A line appears on your city map, showing
you the location of the accident. Icons show additional rescue
missions.

<P><A NAME="medic"></A>You can fly directly to the scene, or you can
land on a hospital roof along the way and pick up a medic. Even
though a medic occupies a seat in your helicopter (which could
otherwise hold a rescue victim), you can't know in advance how
extensive injuries are. A medic can prevent injuries from becoming
worse, and is usually worth the time and expense.

<P>For this exercise, when you arrive at the rescue area you should
dispatch an ambulance to the area.

<P><B>Aim your spotlight at a nearby road square and press F3.</B>

<P><I>Note: Remember, emergency vehicles can only travel on
roads.</I>

<P><B>Search the area until you find the Sims in need.</B>

<P><IMG SRC="gifs/46.GIF" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=255 X-SAS-UseImageWidth
X-SAS-UseImageHeight ALIGN=middle>Help! Help! Help!

<P><B>When you find them, change to Third Person View and lower your
rescue harness.</B>

<P><I>Note: In Third Person View, the camera follows the rescue
harness.</I>

<P><B>Maneuver your helicopter so the hapless Sims can grab the
harness.</B>

<P><I>Notes: Over water, the wind from your helicopter blades can
push the boat away, which make things difficult for you and the
Sims.</I>

<P>Sims automatically grab the harness when it's close enough. The
harness holds one Sim at a time.

<P><B>Bring the Sim into your helicopter by raising the harness, then
lower it again if there are other Sims to rescue.</B>

<P>The Sim automatically becomes a passenger.

<P><B>Repeat until there are no more Sims to rescue, or until your
helicopter is full.</B>

<P><IMG SRC="gifs/47A.GIF" WIDTH=430 HEIGHT=397 X-SAS-UseImageWidth
X-SAS-UseImageHeight ALIGN=middle>All aboard, safe and sound

<P>You must now take your Sims to a place of safety:

<P>Take injured Sim to a hospital roof for full payment.

<P>Take healthy Sims to any place in the city for full payment

<P><IMG SRC="gifs/48.GIF" WIDTH=28 HEIGHT=32 X-SAS-UseImageWidth

hope.

<P>Sims leave your copter when you land.

<P>After taking rescued Sims to a place of safety, return to the site
for Sims who were left behind, and take them to a safe place. Repeat
the rescue process until there are no more Sims to rescue.

<P>When you're done, take the medic back to a hospital roof. It
doesn't have to be the same hospital where you got him or her, but it
would be nice.
